Goddammit – Here’s ‘GOD’S HATE’ By GOD’S HATE From New Album ‘GOD’S HATE’

Posted on by JL

 

4 March 2021

Band: GOD’S HATE (Los Angeles)
Who: Ferocious hardcore hit team
fronted by pro wrestler Brody King
(advice: don’t mess with this guy).

New album: GOD’S HATE
Out: 12 March 2021 via
Closed Casket Activities,

Title track: GOD’S HATE
Sound: Rage Against The Machine sound like cute pussies
compared to this riot-hardcore-gun gang. The tumultuous
turmoil starts with gunshots (of course), followed by a series
of bone-crushing drones and King‘s hellish out-of-this-world
vocal cords roaring like it’s Apocalypse time. Aaarrrggghh!

“Life is hard—be harder.”

Alert your neighbors
before you press play…

Mystifying Pop-Noir Sexiness – Hear Spine-Chilling Single ‘YOUNG HELL’ By GLAARE

Posted on by JL

28 February 2021

Band: GLAARE (California, US)
Who: Brandon (Ancestors, Buried at Sea, Black Mare, Soft Kill) and Rachael, an experienced vocalist and Rex (Black Math Horseman, Animato) and Marisa (Wax Idols, Bizou) on guitar, bass, synth, percussion, and backing vocals respectively.

Single: YOUNG HELL – lead-single from
upcoming second LP ‘Your Hellbound Heart‘,
out April 30 via Weyrd Son Records.

Score: This feels like a spine-chilling exploration of the dark side
of the human psyche. A slowly moving and fascinating pop-noir
groove with The Cure-like guitars, an enigmatic flow and Rachael‘s
voice scarily similar to the gripping vocality of impressive singer-
songwriter Angel Olsen.

Racheal sounds, looks, moves, stares, and stirs like a femme
fatale who knows what hell is like. Don’t mess with her.

Here’s why…

Scream-Along Punk Uppercuts On New EP ‘COME SEE ME/NOT THE ONLY ONE’ EP By Turbo THE CHISEL

Posted on by JL

23 February 2021

Don’t believe all the blah-blah-blah Punk Is Dead nonsense that started when the Sex Pistols exploded back in ’78 while on tour in the Divided States of America. As long as the world fucks things up, bands will be formed in pubs with one mission: fucking things up even better.

London indie label LA VIDA ES UN MUS is the
noisy home of many of we fuck up better misfits.

One gang of them is called THE CHISEL featuring out-of-their-heads motherrockers
from different British cities. Whatever. Who cares. Important is that these ferocious gunslingers fabricated an A.W.E.S.O.M.E 3-track EP called COME SEE ME / NOT THE
ONLY ONE. Three Molotov cocktails to test your lungs’ capacity. Three supersonic cannonballs to destroy your neighbor’s speakers with. Three nasty uppercuts to strike Boris Johnson with, on repeat. Big fun, right? You betcha. Going nuts time! Fucktatsic!

Turbulent Rock & Blues Flurries With Brand New 4-Track EP ‘WORD OF MOUTH’ By GARDENBACK

Posted on by JL

22 February 2021

Band: GARDENBACK
Who: Turbulent trio band from Oldham, North of Manchester.

EP: WORD OF MOUTH
Four lusty rippers, here they come, one by one…

1. WORD OF MOUTH
The title track is a firework cracker of a jam. Like if the Jon Spencer Blues Band
teamed up with Detroit‘s legendary noise devils MC5 for a smoking hot session.

2. DO NO EVIL
Also a decibel-challenging blues-rock jackhammer pushed by steamed-up energy and fired-up passion. Raw bass, insane drum hits, riff-roaring guitar frenzy and hellish vocals.


.
3. CYNICAL GUY
A fat slo-mo groove looking for trouble along its nasty route. Moving like a cynical serpent on a vicious mission while a psycho-tic guitar sounds like if it wants to strangle somebody.

.
4. GO NATIVE
Deranged, funky Talking Heads vibes and early Public Image echoes with Jah Wobble on bass, Keith Levine on guitar and Rotten-esque vocals. Get my drift? Yes, this is my favorite.

Prog Rock Psych Jam – Aussie Outfit THE LAZY EYES Lost Their Brains

Posted on by JL

3 February 2021

Band: THE LAZY EYES
Who: A psych-rock four-piece
based in Sydney, Australia

Past work: 5-track debut EP1
Coming soon: The band’s sophomore EP

Single: WHERE’S MY BRAIN??? – “The song is loosely about losing
your mind over something and wanting to have a tantrum, but really
it’s just a jam.”

Score: This ongoing prog-rock-psych jam resonates like coming
from one of the countless, head-spinning LPs of their mind-boggling
countrymen King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Once started they never
look back. This extended guitar-riff-extravaganza hallucination, annex
helium voices, is exactly what you need to reactivate your sedated
lockdown brain. Time to shake all your worries off.

Gaelle Souflet – from Brussels

ominous vocals. Combine D.A.F.‘s industrial vibes, Sisters Of Mercy‘s gloom and
doom hallucinations and Depeche Mode‘s pop-noir thrills and you know it’s time
for a dazzling house-lockdown-jamboree, for a mindless darkwave boogie-woogie

Smashing Guided Rock By Rolling Voices – CUB SCOUT BOWLING PINS Steam On Debut EP

Posted on by JL

27 January 2021

CUB SCOUT BOWLING PINS (I wonder who came up with this crazy name) is not
really a new group. It’s actually a disguise for the hardest working band in the world
(they released 3 albums in 2020!) Guided By Voices.

The imperishable rockers premiered new 6-track EP HEAVEN BEATS IOWA (I wonder
who came up with such a crazy record title) a couple of days ago.

It’s a steamy jamboree of manic guitar rippers with instantly head-spinning firework
with the 60s organ fueled sickly sticky, scream-along closer as my on-repeat favorite.

Mind you, the other 5 cuts will boost your lockdown mood too. When their ear-vibrating riffs, flamboyant licks, garage-rock like hooks, and some Black Sabbath drones here and there trigger your senses you’ll don’t care about the authors’ name. Oh yeah, heated stuff!
